and. i'm. in one. rubber bullets meet government protesters. many are taken into custody rights rallies refused to die down. israel says it's going ahead with plans for fifteen hundred new homes in east jerusalem despite them being illegal under international law. and thousands of angry spaniards march out against ever mounting cuts to their pensions health care and education.

while it is just after six pm here in moscow this is the life with me rory sushi thank you for joining us today. used tear gas and rubber bullets on anti-government protesters arresting a number of them during mass rallies in and around the capital the wife of leading human rights campaigner. said that her husband was among those detained now police have expanded their presence across the capital groups of hundreds of people commemorated protesters killed during an uprising eighteen years ago the shia majority demanding the release of all political prisoners a political voice. come under increasing pressure from rights groups for not reforming instead it is banned at public gatherings jailed opposition activists and even taken away their citizenship political scientists call and cavil says the gulf

monarchies is purposely misleading the outside. there must be there beating protesters they are jail in three corners of the population or oppose them and the population is no longer scared of them the population wants the hour khalifa to am beginning to leave the country they want democracy they are trying to two hundred and thirty years of our credit dictatorship wires aside science in the united states when the violations of human rights are so gross that just mean and generally quiet since complete hypocrisy and of course you and everyone else know most of the reason and that's because the fearfully is based in bahrain and from the bahrain the us uses that as

a pivot point to try to intervene in control middle east the idea of a monarchy is completely outdated and is a joke in the modern world and the only ones who don't get it on the upper lip. tara let's turn our attention out of out of israel that says it will go ahead with plans to build fifteen hundred new settler homes in a jewish settlement that will be in east jerusalem what's considered already occupied palestinian land by the project has received preliminary permission from jerusalem officials the palestinian administration has called the decision illegal but as of view shared by much of the international community we should strongly critical of israel settlement expansion palestinians want east jerusalem to be the capital of their future state and promising to raise the issue with the u.n. security council equality campaign a pretty hirshman so as the plans are threatening hopes for

a two state solution. it seems very clear that it was a retaliatory effort we should also talk about as though in the context of becoming an israeli elections there is clearly a lot of political cash aid to be gained from making these very bold and aggressive announcements after the u.n. resolution and clearly this is and i'm going mark so israel's. planning to consolidate control over easter islam and their political motivations and demonstrating to the israeli public. he's our fortunes are greater on divided jerusalem as. is that so clearly all of this construction extremely dangerous for a two state solution a distrust disrupts the continuity of land between east jerusalem and the west bank on which a future palestinian state would. and with israel increasingly isolated by the

international community over its expansion policy the arab spring means the country is becoming surrounded by potentially hostile government which makes some israelis say the deposed dictatorships were a safer bet for the country rather than the new democracies near its borders this report to r.t. is paul a slayer. there's a storm brewing in the middle east and it's leaving a chill in the hearts of most israelis say what you might about the arab spring it poses an obvious problem for tel aviv zaman and so we've seen just a few weeks ago. plenty of missiles falling on israel form a radical. i dream and we see. already the beginning of may be. attrition war on the golan heights we see plenty of the angels in the mediterranean sea israel's backyard has become

a lot more dangerous in the last two years weapons from libya are leaking across borders and landing in the hands of a known militant groups the trouble ahead is symbolized by the muslim brotherhood sweep to power in egypt from this rally in june and ominous promised by the movement to make sure we still him and not kind of the capital at a minimum what we'll see is the free flow of weapons money and supplies from egypt into the gaza strip we will see egyptian volunteers going into the gaza strip to fight that's the minimum. moving up from there the possibility of egypt israel war is by no means impossible but it was democracy that brought the muslim brotherhood to power and our deal both israel and the west came to espouse but both are now waking up to the reality that things might in fact have been better under the previous dictatorships at least for them we had a difficult situation but at least we had the contact you know with the leadership

secondly president mubarak was committed to the peace process. the situation today is that we are confronting a new president who belongs to a certain institution in certain movement which do not believe in the right of israel for existence. israeli leaders know all too well that whatever friendships however useful they have with arab leaders it doesn't alter the basic rate posed by an arab awakening that in most countries is empowering militant islamic groups we will expect that these governments when when they will will but pressure not only on the friends of we feel also this. the new changes in the board the democracies that is emerging in the arab world will have a tremendous challenges and. in order to maintain. law and order to establish

a real democracy the need some time but elevate fears that in the time it takes for that democracy to really take root and for the arab public perhaps one day to accept a jewish state relations with its arab neighbors will get far worse before they get better the challenge now for is twofold to avoid inflaming arab public opinion while protecting israel and also to counter the growing to space many israelis feel of a growing isolation in an increasingly volatile neighborhood near r.t. tell of of. the people in spain are saying that their dignity is at stake and later in the program we report on how students and doctors in their thousands are protesting government austerity all over the country. and that time of action americans signed gun control petitions as a message to the white house after the latest tragedy in a u.s. elementary school those details and more after this break.

i was. the was. in the middle of russia is no way from civilization or any three hour helicopter treat from the nearest village. they stole one family have been living here for a long time in tents made of reindeer skins. so he can set. lodging runs in a signal and minutes they also grew up in the but left it at the age of six and

never returned they now live in the city in apartment building but still remember their regions was. i want a reason dancing teacher. was. next to his dances he tells the stories about his motherland. thanks lives in a reap the now has a one thousand strong reindeer herd when the enemy only saw the light can and most around brood is gathered turns and moved to another posture they travel hundreds of kilometers in winter women and children for them. but the two families have less of a chance to come across each other they belong to different worlds even though

their songs are similar. a researcher a moscow thanks for joining us on our to today thousands of people have hit the streets of spain to protest the government's ever growing austerity the people are outraged by cuts to their health care education and pensions with anger also directed at changes ongoing to labor laws in fact to the protests across fifty five spanish cities were called by unions and social groups prime minister defended the tough measures saying that two thousand and twelve will be remembered as the year in which the foundations for the country's recovery will lay majority keeps insisting it doesn't need

a sovereign bailout despite its deep recession but economist yanis varoufakis says the mistakes made by the country's government could ultimately cost a part of its territory. this is a government like the one that greece like the one island which is with all its eggs in the basket. needs agreement with germany and the european something. it will take a little more from one of demonstrations they. risk losing an election to change the course of the spanish government and i'm very much afraid or or let me. take the possibility of losing the money or even stay for. long enough to start thinking that perhaps the best of all outside finance that. protesters in spain have been getting rather creative with their post as one road cuts will be with the guillotine later on our financial experts max keiser and

stacy herbert discuss whether the trend could in any way shape or form pick up. but major it is the first story max throughout europe where you can find this tool in solid pine with a height of two meters in the motto is cuts are necessary they encourage people to get one for their home for their living room for the bar and perhaps in the public square right well you. ok more cut. i told you two years ago to buy things yes you did because the price and the market's going to be exploding and expect a gay teen manufacture to go public so. you can watch the cars report throughout the day here or not. for now the tragedy in newtown elementary school that left twenty six dead has sparked the

long running debate of gun control in the u.s. more than one hundred fifty thousand americans have already signed a petition asking the white house to introduce a bill limiting access to firearms. and i went to a connecticut still deep in mourning to gauge opinion. to describe what's going on on the ground i think if we take all the sad words in the dictionary and combine them together there really is no way to describe no words to find to describe the heartbreak really the grief the sadness the tears. we saw on the ground this town is really at the head of me of grief during this holiday season in this country more or less half of the population supports gun control and of the country is split and half believes that it's a civil right and it's a rights that americans are entitled to so whether or not any legislation good strong legislation can be passed to prevent these kinds of things is a question we're going to have to wait and see exactly what kind of steps lawmakers

take and what the u.s. president takes but certainly i'm sure people are going to be demanding this kind of something to happen so that these situations are so they don't happen in the future over and over and over again parents holding their kids a little tighter and a little boy. oh gosh i'm so glad that i have so many opportunities to. i love you i'm so glad you're mine i'm so glad you're in our family i'm so glad. you're here i'm still so glad that i'm having breakfast with you this morning candles. flowers toys and grief filled. i keep hearing on the news over and over about the parents. or you fail to get their kids. to be told. their kids from school. and

i can't imagine. if i was in their shoes as a parent that my daughter wouldn't pick up with the twenty first graders none of them older than seven were killed in a mass shooting at school twenty year old adam lanza lived with his mother nancy in a well off residential neighborhood on friday morning he shot and killed her with her own gun got into a car drove about ten minutes to sandy hook elementary quoting two witnesses he didn't say a word during the rampage eight year old zachary was saved by his teachers my youngest son since and he had school and. he was in a classroom right near where the shooting took place and he was with a reading teacher just him in the reading teacher and she closed the door and took them into the bathroom they sat in the bathroom floor until police came and said prayers and just stayed very quiet until the police came six school employees were also killed in the shooting including the favorite one of eight and then devon in

the midst of to them what you would like to encourage them. the six and nine year olds held a garage sale with their family after surviving the shooting with proceeds going to their school they did tell them to close their eyes my my daughter. course you never listens so she she didn't and she's pretty she's been talking about that a lot she said she said mommy i can't get that body out of my head i keep saying at people's emotions are stretched to the limit make an end here like make it worth something we could meet. because you can't you could create change change that heartbroken locals are now demanding. strict severe gun control. but it's really a look in the second amendment to bear arms but. then when it was written three hundred years ago two hundred fifty years ago the forefathers never thought that it would come to this while politicians don't have the power to bring back the twenty little children who used to play on these streets they do have the power to decide

what happens next in a country where two hundred seventy million firearms almost one per person aren't private possession. newtown connecticut and we're coming to you live from the russian capital the number of homeless students in america has hit a record high topping one million for the first time going to the result of the economic recession the number that has risen. since two thousand and seven but more on those shocking stats on our website. plus a russian volcano awakes so you can watch on our to use you tube channel amazing footage of what's going on right. now at the end of the world well but for another three days anyway.

for. the incorporation of this as part of the nato strategy is one a threat to russia a threat to the national sovereignty of the people of bug area because they have foreign military bases and it incorporates both gary makes it more secure as part of an american political and economic as well as military formation. all right as promised let's get into it right now the world update and reports of heavy clashes now between the syrian government forces and rebels as anti assad fighters say they are making major advances in the battle for the country the armed opposition claims to have taken control of a palestinian refugee camp in the capital which was earlier shelled by syrian warplanes activists and says that more than twenty people were killed in the attack damascus said the camp was assisting terrorists loyal to opposition forces now hundreds of palestinian refugees are fleeing syria to neighboring lebanon and syrian rebels also say they have seized the central town of hellfire and stormed an

a sacred place rising out of the waters of the lake the law ministry is home to one hundred fifty orthodox monks mostly younger than thirty five and they've come from many different places and backgrounds to live in isolation here spiritual life it takes up many hours on the road to becoming a monk requires both hard work and religious telly cation. salem's to become and herds cattle as part of this preparation. however these beasts get a musical the company knew that. they can remember the sound sequences you know they want to the sound signals the flutes the herders had in the old days they needed them it wasn't just a fun thing but these meadows didn't come naturally requiring decades of composting to bring the soil up to farming standard this island is mostly rock. the

soil here is very thin on the monks can't just get more of it because they're surrounded by the lake so they have to work very hard in order to provide whatever food they need. they grow their own crops fund their own fish and repair their own churches. but the central purpose of alarm has always been religious the main ministry surrounded by smaller priories spread through the many archipelago the monks here know their existence is a little different from that of other ministries here we are out of the way and we do have. built rooms and so on times tourists as well but no way of. tranquility use is hardly. disturbed. the distant
